From Lee Suggs : A hilarious short!!
We begin with Mickey and Donald playing football inside Minnie's house.
Despite Minnie's warnings they manage to break a picture of Minnie and
Daisy. Mickey decides to replace the picture before the girls get back
from shopping. This is where things really get going. Mickey and Donald
go out to get clothes so they can look like Minnie and Daisy. They succeed
in doing this, but can't get out the store because people keep confusing
them with the girls. (It's interesting how the animators make Donald
and Mickey look like out of focus versions of their respective girlfriends.)
We get to see and hear Horace Horsecollar for the first time in forty
or fifty years, and Clarabelle Cow counsels Donald as Daisy to break
up with himself because she/he is starting to sound like him. Mickey
and Donald finally get home, have Goofy do a terrible job of taking
a picture of them, and get caught in the act by the girls. After explaining
to the girls (off camera) why all of their efforts were necessary "to
save the universe", they find out that Minnie and Daisy didn't like
the picture anyway, and that they have their own replacement. A clever,
and throughly entertaining short.

From Rich Bellacera : While somewhat
predictable, it was definitely a fun gag-filled toon. The boys have
sure spent a lot of time in "drag" during this series. This cartoon
was also chock full of guest stars (Mortimer, Chief O'Hara, Horace,
Clarabelle, the Nephews, etc.) Of course, hearing April Winchell doing
Clarabelle as goofy and naive was great, but then to hear her deadpan
voice revealing she was very aware that bogus Minnie and Daisy was actually
Mick and Don gave me a big smile! Then Mortimer doing the same! Apparently
only Horace (and Goofy) didn't figure it out. When the girls had their
picture taken at the store the end was obvious, but still I enjoyed
the whole toon.

From Juan F. Lara : Well, not
really a "Mickey Mouse" cartoon. More like a whole-cast cartoon, featuring
the Fab Four plus Daisy, and Mortimer and Clarabelle and even Horace
Horsecollar. More on that below.

Minnie's and Daisy's uncanny resemblences to their boyfriends was
worth parodying. But the makers didn't seem to be able to come up with
anything interesting to do with this idea. The short instead came off
as a meandering collection of unrelated scenes. The makers ate up a
lot of time on "who's-on- first" arguments with Goofy (TWO instead of
one, and the first short already had one even). And actually the large
number of cameos also felt like the makers were using them to pad out
the short. Clarabelle's scene didn't make any sense. What was she getting
at if she knew that was really Mickey and Donald? Some of the jokes
were immature, like Mortimer getting caught with ladies' undies stuck
on him. And the resolution felt very unsatisfying.

From Grace : This is one of my
favorite Mickey Mouse cartoons! I pretty much laughed so hard when Mickey
and Donald had to dress up like Minnie and Daisy, and had to wear makeup
such as cheek makeup, lipstick, powder and eyeshadow I mean no wonder
anybody can imagine a mouse and a duck dressing up as a girl. Well speaking
of girl clothes Mickey and Donald learned a big lesson that never play
football in the house, otherwise you what I mean crashing items.

From Kyle Wiggins : Mickey and
Donald dress as Minnie and Daisy. Minnie doesn't wear lipstick. I imagine
that Mickey and Donald have 30 seconds to replace Minnie and Daisy's
broken picture before they get home.
